A large medical center's oncology program reported an increased number of cases of pancreatic cancer during a certain month. The hospital's epidemiologist decided to research the problem. Tumor registry records were searched to identify all cases of pancreatic cancer during a five-year period; cancer patients were matched with patients treated for other diseases during the same five-year period. All subjects in the study were questioned about lifestyle factors including alcohol, tea, and coffee consumption. The resulting data are as follows: DATA Cancer Patients Other Patients Men Women Men Women LIFESTYLE VARIABLE Alcohol 185 120 270 260 Tea Drinking 140 110 230 225 Coffee Drinking 190 140 270 240 Total number of male cancer patients = 200.Total number of female cancer patients = 150.Total number of male patients (other diseases) = 300.Total number of female patients (other diseases) = 300. Which number best approximates risk associated with alcohol drinking in women? Question 13 options: 0.21 1.37 2.11 0.62 0.92
